Hopefully shuldnt be too far away after that.

im pretty sure i am the only person with a X in New Zealand that uses these forums so im the only person he can get an ecu off at short notice.

im doing my best


I definatly apreciate it, he's a huge asset to this community

well perhaps the fact that the exhaust scaling is off is why my tuner was only able to hurt power by adjusting exhaust mivec. It is all becoming clear now.

set the MIVEC exhaust side to 0 from 4,000 - redline

seems to be the best for power from what i've read.

Across the loads as well?

The xml file needs to be opened using a text editor such as Notepad which is included with Windows. The xml files are located here:

\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\evo

Open the file, insert the changes, save it, and then relaunch ECUFlash.

I would assume just the higher load cells, you can play around with the lower cells and find more torque, really widen out the band

this is all just what I've gathered from reading other peoples roms and this forum, I just got my cable in the mail today.

XML is beautiful to work with

Maybe an intake/MAF scaling table? I don't have an Evo X here to test it on, just a guess. I broke the table into 2, because it is so big. Somewhat similar to MAF scaling table on a hotwire Subaru.

<scaling name="MAFVoltScaling" units="units" toexpr="x*5/1024" frexpr="x*1024/5" format="%.3f" min="0" max="255" inc="1" storagetype="uint16" endian="big"/>


<table name="MAF Comp Test 1" category="Intake" address="5753a" type="2D" level="1" scaling="uint16">
<table name="Volts" address="615ea" type="X Axis" elements="69" scaling="MAFVoltScaling"/>
</table>

<table name="MAF Comp Test 2" category="Intake" address="575c4" type="2D" level="1" scaling="uint16">
<table name="Volts" address="61674" type="X Axis" elements="61" scaling="MAFVoltScaling/>
</table>

Thanks!, I realised that I gotta make the changes in ECUflash as well.

Btw, may I know on a EBC setup, can I upped the reactive boost and passive boost all the way up?

Why not just use the JDM MIVEC maps? I hear they are pretty close to optimal.

If you mean a standalone EBC setting, then the reactive and passive boost values have no effect except the BDEL. In order to prevent a high boost CEL, the BDEL needs to be adjusted to track the load achieved using the EBC.

Got another X. I logged onto the Tactrix store and saw they had an ECU recovery service. That's spooky. Are a lot of people still bricking ECUs?

I'd go EcuTeK again, it was stable and I loved it.

I'm not worried about logging, I have my old/existing maps to work with.

I am worried about:

1) Stability
2) All maps I need being there
3) Interface being as good or same as EcuTeK this time around.

I prefer EcuTeK stability, but I want the ability to flash my own car without traveling to the shop.
